Harlem will serve as a critical litmus test in Tuesday's primaries. Both candidates boast an appeal in the neighborhood that extends well beyond their political gifts. Obama is the first African-American candidate to become a frontrunner for the nomination this late in a national campaign, an achievement that clearly resonates among residents of this community, long a nerve center for black intellectual and cultural life.
